  • Just in pronunciation. Usually when you put the two O’s next to each other is affects the pronunciation of the O sound, as it does in chose/choose.

    But for some reason the double O in lose/loose does not change the pronunciation of the vowel at all. It instead affects the pronunciation of the S to sound either like an “unvoiced S sound” or a “voiced Z sound.”

    If I told you to pronounce “Loo” then we would all agree on what that would sound like, but if I told you to add a Z sound to the end of that “Loo” then you might say “hey you spelled lose wrong, it only has one O.”

    That’s the exception to the rule that I was talking about. O sounds and OO sounds are pretty straightforward but they don’t work the way you would expect in the words “lose/loose”.

    I don’t know if my explanation makes any sense if you don’t already understand what I’m talking about, but this is the reason so many people on the internet misspell the word “lose”.



  • You skipped the part where they absolutely do not value human life or care about the suffering of others. That explains the most why this is the easiest option for them to continue wielding their power without having to compromise on any ethical or moral value in their life.

    You can’t accurately (nor truthfully) look at from their point of view without adopting that specific part of their view.


  • She was cremated and had a funeral in 2021 one month after she died. She was denied the funeral honors ceremony at her funeral at the time but this news is a reversal of that decision.

    They are inviting the family out to the Pentagon I think, where they will probably give her the flag and certificate that would have been part of the ceremony. I dunno if they are gonna have service members play taps, the song that is usually part of the ceremony at a funeral. But yeah, she already had a funeral four and a half years ago when she died.






  • I think it’s like saying “there’s no guard rails now” because you are not in safe and regulated society where all the wild animals you see are on your coins, but you are now outside of that safe comfortable world and the wild animals are actually wild animals.

    It reminds me of the saying “when you hear hooves, expect horses, not zebras” because you’d really be somewhere exotic if the sounds turned out to be a zebra. Well you’d really be somewhere outside of your regular comfort zone if the buffalos were sitting in the grass instead of sitting on your nickle.
